ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On August 8, 2007, Paychex, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Plan Engagement Agreement with Banc of America Securities LLC (“Banc of America”) to purchase up to $500 million of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the requirements of and in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Plan”). The Plan will allow the Company’s Rule 10b-18 share repurchase program, which was announced on July 12, 2007 and commenced on August 6, 2007, to continue during periods in which the Company may be aware of material non-public information.
Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, Banc of America, as agent for the Company, will purchase varying percentages of the maximum daily target volume allowable under Rule 10b-18 when the Company’s common stock is trading at various price ranges. Any purchases under the Plan will be disclosed publicly through appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The description of the Plan in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
